The wiki is running a few extensions to better serve the community. This page seeks to document the installation procedure for the various extensions.
Contents |
Confirm Edit
Confirm Edit is an extension that adds Captcha's to pages based off of settings in its ConfirmEdit.php file.
Installation
- Download the latest file.
- If you extract the archive to the $IP/extenions folder, you shouldn't need to move any other files around.
- Add the following line, near the bottom, to your LocalSettings.php file:
require_once( "$IP/extensions/ConfirmEdit/ConfirmEdit.php" );
Configuration
There are five default types of Captcha that can be used, but we chose to combine this with the extension VisualMathCaptcha. See other configuration options at the MediaWiki page on the extension.
Visual Math Captcha
Simple Anti-spam
The idea behind this extension is that it adds a form to pages that cannot be seen, but if it is not blank, the wiki returns an error about triggering a spam filter. I have not had great success with this, and have posted a request to add how many it blocks.
Installation
- Download from the MediaWiki page.
- Extract the files into into
$IP/extensions/SimpleAntiSpam. - Add the following to LocalSettings.php: require_once("$IP/extensions/SimpleAntiSpam/SimpleAntiSpam.php");
- Installation can now be verified through the wiki's Special:Version page
